Today in Comics History, February 10, 1942: Wait, so this scene is earlier than the one shown an issue and a half earlier...?

Wait, if the sabotage of the Normandie took place around 3 PM, as All-Star Squadron #24 tells us, why is issue #26 set before that one?

Also potentially occuring during that backward time period: the entirety of All-Star Squadron #25!

Also, during that time, you could apparently win some peanut butter!

Yes, Superman Peanut Butter! One of the fifty things that made DC Comics great! Not included: Jack Kirby, Dick Giordano, Sergio Aragonés, Bob Haney, Dick Sprang, José Luis García-López, Joe Orlando, Marshall Rogers, Archie Goodwin...etc., etc., etc. Peanut butter über them!

I had a jar of that! Still do, actually... Put a pair of glasses on it and nobody's even noticed it for nigh on forty years.
